Impact of the Dietary Fat Concentration and Source on the Fecal Microbiota of Healthy Adult Cats
The balanced intestinal microbiota of cats seems to be relatively resistant to moderate variations in the dietary fat supply over a short feeding period. Longer-term treatments and higher dietary fat levels should be evaluated in future studies to further clarify the relevance of fat intake for the feline gut microbiome.
